1.The funniest EndOfTheWorld story, EVER.

“Everyone’s dead. Except for Australia. And they’re still like ‘DoubleU. T. F. ? ‘ ” (Thanks! JulieT)

2. Remembering this conversation, from Sunday:

“I’m going to take SO many pictures today.”

“Yeah?”

“Your mom is probably going to throw my camera into the lake.” *

“Probably.”

Three minutes later.

“Hey! Look! I’m a SPERM whale!”

“Um. What?”

He juts his chest out proudly, as if offering me a better chance to see the large white whale adorning the t-shirt he has just chosen. “See?”

“Hey! That’s MY (bought in the men’s department, like so many of my t-shirts) shirt. And also, that is not a sperm whale.”

“It is today.”

“That is and will forever be ‘Moby Dick.’ ”

“That’s just too easy.”

*At one point during babycarrot sister’s wedding, my mom really did confiscate his camera, and mine, and force us to slow dance. I missed taking pictures of the bouquet toss because of her overzealous camera thievery, a situation made better only by having been provided yet another opportunity for me to playfully guilt her for as long as we both shall live.
